In some pics she looks young, in some she looks old...still she's a beautiful woman!

[edit] Old work?

This is before Farscape? http://brent.wirehedmag.com/ja/forum/index.php?topic=48.0

[edit] External links

Wikipedia is not a link farm. I have removed all links to fansites, keeping only the couple to IMDB and TVtome. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 14:55, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] One?

What are these credits listed as "One"? There's nothing in her oeuvre with that title... ka1iban 22:26, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind....found info on it...added link to article ka1iban 15:53, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Year of her birth?

Ms. Black is famous for her refusal to tell her year of birth. Where was this information (1972) found for her WP article? (just curious)

Fan speculation currently has her birth year at 1972. I think we're going with it here because that's what they have on IMDB ka1iban 15:52, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
The question mark was removed but I'm going to put it back for now; at least until someone can decisively confirm her birth year ka1iban 15:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
According to the discussion board at the IMDb (in response to a troll who was trying to claim that Black is really in her 40s) the 1972 date is an estimate due to the fact that in 2000 Black stated in an interview that she was 28. 23skidoo 20:14, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
There's no way she's 34. Maybe 44. She looks great, but saying she was born in 72 is just stupid. She's a very attractive, middle-aged woman. Let's remove the bogus age.
Vrox Although I'm finding it difficult to find material easily displayed here (I have my year book from school but nothing "online") that verifies my statements, I can confirm that Claudia Black could easily have been born in 1972 as initially stated. I say this as I personally performed with her in a couple of school musicals. She went to the all-girl high school Kambala in Sydney which, on a yearly basis at the time, did a musical with the boys from my school Sydney Grammar School (Gilbert & Sullivan pieces to be precise). At the time she was a year above me at school. Considering I was born in 1973, its not a great leap of logic to for me to believe she was indeed born in '72. I don't usually discuss a woman's age (call me old fashioned) but I'm sure she wouldn't mind someone defending her when people are accusing her of being "middle-aged"!

Ok, IMDB seems to be a pretty reliable source of information and there's no way Claudia Black is middle aged so I'm going to change the little part about the outrageous speculation of her age. IJB TA 04:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Pardon me for butting in but I found this article rather randomly and through being an SG:1 fan. IMDB is user-driven and, therefore, about as good a source as Wikipedia (not very). I have no doubt she was born in the early 70's, based on her look and extensive filmography. I believe someone mentioned an interview with her? If it's obtainable, it could be used to verify the IMDB, although, given Ms. Black's hesitance to state her age, that might cause problems as well. In other words, I could be 30 and say in an interview I'm 23. If I look young enough, folks will believe I'm 23 and use that interview as proof of my age. Ispy1981 19:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Claudia photo

I changed the photo to try something new; the other one is so washed out you can barely tell it's her. The current one is from Season 4 promotional shots, I believe. ka1iban 15:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] X-Files Episode?

Season 1, episode 22.. I think I saw Claudia Black playing a police officer for a minute or two.. But I can't confirm if it was really her or not. Can anyone confirm? Karozoa 16:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
